About Our Lab
The Computational Materials Lab focuses on the developement of novel energy materials for future energy storage devices by computational methods. A detail analysis of chemical and mechanical stability, diffusion mechanisms, and Raman spectroscopy is studied in the Computational Materials Lab. Through our simulations we are able to understand the properties of materials at various scales, including bulk, surface, grain boundaries, and interfaces. By investigating these fundamental aspects, we aim to unlock vital insights that will drive advancements in the field of energy storage and facilitate the development of highly efficient energy materials.
